I could post you a pic of the mug I'm drinking it from, but there wouldn't be much point: it is Bishop (England's answer to Gluehwein, mentioned in Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'). You get a bottle of non-vintage ruby port and warm it up with half an orange that's been stuck with half a dozen whole cloves and roasted in a slow oven for a quarter of an hour or so.

- It doesn't. Their Saint-Pierre is another. And those flip-top bottles are handy for homebrew afterwards
Apparently I'm not allowed to go to the liquor store by myself anymore:
